Am I the only one that carries something classy to manage my pens? Take a look at my Bleecker Pencil Case in Sharkskin/Natural 64544 BQP, it's a beauty!
Being a bit OCD, I'd have the pen in a ziplock inside that beautiful Bleeker Pencil Case!
Pics of Decorated, Accessorized, and Loaded Nomad
I know that I came late to the Nomad clubhouse, but I am really enjoying my very first Nomad bag 36021 in carmine color that I recently revealed and I just wanted to share what I have done with her. I like to decorate my bags with fobs. It's fun and it gives me an excuse to buy more fobs! I...
Oh my goodness!!! How gorgeous, Narnanz!!!!
A cute little 4106 rehab. She really was in basically great condition, only needed a bath.

I've had the worst mood all day so despite being completely underwater with work I decided to dunk the duffle. Initial coat of lt applied.
Are you able to share photos?
Yes! But it's just drying right now - do you mean before and after ones? Of course! X
Ya I stop at piping. That’s for a pro. The trim might be too but I’m gonna try first. Piping is harder because you have to completely deconstruct the bag to access those seams and replace with new piping. I usually just glue mine the best I can and cover with my acrylic conditioner mix.
Trust me y’all will hear all about my Patty. She is one stubborn lady! It will be a good day when I have her done.
I tried dremeling for the first time and loved it. I bought a jewelry polishing kit but so far have only used the little wire brush. It's great at removing the clear coat and shining up the brass.
I had thought I would have to be really careful but honestly it's similar to steel wool and still takes me several passes to get a good shine. I like that because I was afraid the Dremel would be so powerful that it would be easy to damage the brass- not so with the attachments I am using. I still do a final polish with a cloth but after the Dremel it's just a finishing touch.
Patricia’s Legacy saga continues. Below she is completely dry. Like bone dry. I tried painting her and I hated it. Did not look good at all. So I ordered some refresh for British tan and Mahogany. There is a chance the spots won’t take the BT and will come through so if that happens I’ll have to make her a different color all together. Anyway, she has been sanitized, dunked, wiped with everything under the sun and got a nice sun bath. I was feeling quite defeated TBH but we will see how a refresh turns out. That is most likely mold spots that have stained the bag. I feel bad for her really. Stayed tuned for part 3 or part 50 at this point…
Thank you! I was a little nervous, but I started experimenting today and arrived at exactly the same place - the little wire brush did the trick for me, moving gently in one direction and then crosswise in another. I got GREAT shine even in hard-to-reach places, and I finished with Cape Cod cloth and buffing like normal. I’ll share pics of a few now-finished projects later!
I don’t think I saved any time (maybe I will as I get more comfortable), but… my hands and fingertips weren’t screaming when I was done, and it was significantly less messy than steel wool! I’m excited to keep trying this!
Well, I repainted yet another Cassie style, this time the camera bag. It's original color was Taupe. I deglazed it & used Angelus black matte paint. I really loved the look. Then I added the Angelus MATTE finisher & it came out too shiny (at least for my liking). I wished I hadn't put the finisher on & just conditioned & Apple Guarded it. If this is matte, I'd hate to see satin or glossy. But, it's all a learning process.
Do I really need a finisher? I love the Angelus paint & nothing rubs off after painting...I guess I felt it was better to finish than not. Any way to soften the shine at this point? TIA!

I like the black with silver hardware. Do you think you could use another thin coat of paint to reduce the shine?
